you did? I didn't. I'm on record in earlier threads saying that I wouldn't count him out

Still don't think he'll unseed anyone, but who knows. Foligno and Cheechoo look a hell of a lot more like 3rd liners this game than do Fisher, Spezza, Alfie, and Kovie...maybe Foligno gets pushed out if Zubov really steps it up in the period + next 2 games.

... a bad impression

I just lost the audio on my feed. Anyone else having problems with the sopcast feed?

He's had some chances, doesnt look any worse then Cheechoo right now. Foligno looks amazing though.

Really? Why has he been replaced on the wing by Kovalev and put onto Smith's wing with Winchester?

(I Diddling like that line for the future )

C'mon Sens! Big third period!

He's the only one going.

He looks a lot more confident tonight. Looks a lot like an NHL player

My buddy PVRed and is watching the first - and he is quite a level headed guy. And he says, "Karlsson is the best PP QB this team has ever had." He emphasized the ever part.

Maybe he'll make it after all...

Oh he's going, but he doesn't look like an top-6 forward.

Maybe?! lol, dude. He will start the season in the top 4.

Maybe he will, yeah. I have serious reservations about his 5 on 5 play, I'm sure you do as well.

O'Brien looks so weak on his skates...he did last year, he does now...he really needs to work on his body before he's NHL ready. I won't give up on him for a few years, but I'm not high on him now.

Yeah his 5-on-5 play needs work. He likes to leave his assignment a little too much --- taking away a pass in the defensive zone is something he likes to do, but doing it responsibly will be an issue.

It's a process, he isnt going to know it all right off the bat.

Man! Smith looks SO much better with Foligno and Winchester than he did with Zubov and O'Brien. WOW! I like how the announcer called Winchester "Spezza" on that spin around tape-to-tape pass through the crease
